Balanced policy
The outcome and resolutions of the recent meeting were, indeed, quite frightening as far as the preservation of international peace is concerned. If Nato countries feel they can defeat Russia by continuous acts of pricking and provoking, they are sadly mistaken. Anyone who can just estimate the distance between St. Petersburg and Vladivostok should be able to calculate how much space Russia has to absorb any type of attack. What good has it done except invading weak countries, like Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan? It may be difficult, but we should try to maintain a balanced stand in this unnecessary war.

Production halted as textile, auto demand falls
Pakistan’s economy has continued to face hardships as two more industrial units announced that they would observe a partial shutdown in the face of thin demand for textiles and automobiles. The notification suggests that global economic slowdown and recession in Europe are taking their toll on Pakistan’s textile businesses. “Due to reduction in production volumes of our major customers, the company will be observing partial shutdown during the month of October 2023,” an Agriauto notification read. AHL Research auto analyst Muhammad Abrar Polani said as consumer affordability worsened due to a tough economic environment, the demand for automobiles shrank, resulting in a trickle-down impact on the demand for auto parts. Higher interest rates have also reduced the demand for auto financing, causing a drop in auto sales.

India tells Canada to withdraw dozens of its diplomats: Report
India has told Canada to withdraw around 40 diplomats from the country, according to a report published on Monday. According to the report, the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi has a larger number of diplomats compared to India's representation in Ottawa. The report also said that Ottawa currently has 62 diplomats in India, and New Delhi has instructed them to reduce this number by 41 people. After Trudeau’s accusation, which also called for India to cooperate in an investigation into Nijjar’s killing, Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat. The Indian government reacted strongly, calling the allegations “absurd,” and in a tit-for-tat move expelled a Canadian representative.

Environmental impact
This includes air pollution from industries, transportation, and burning fossil fuels; water pollution from industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and improper waste disposal; and soil pollution from chemical contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals. The clearing of forests for agriculture, urban development, and logging has significant environmental impacts. It reduces biodiversity, disrupts local and global climate patterns, and contributes to soil erosion. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy, along with deforestation, leads to an excess of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This contributes to global warming and climate change, which have far-reaching effects on weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems.

India eye kabaddi revenge against Iran
India had been the only country ever to win kabaddi gold at the Asian Games until Iran shocked them five years ago. Now India are gunning for revenge in Hangzhou but Iranian athletes and officials warned Monday they will face a "tough" battle to wrest back the gold. Iran won both the men's and women's golds at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta to stun India, where millions of television viewers watch glitzy and money-spinning professional kabaddi leagues modelled on cricket's IPL. "Our team will fight and our team will win," India women's coach V. Tejaswini Bai said after a surprise 34-34 draw against Taiwan in their first group match on Monday. Kabaddi made its Asian Games debut in 1990 at Beijing with India winning every Asiad until Jakarta.

Officials involved in smuggling to face court martial: Bugti
Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Monday said Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir had warned in unequivocal terms that those security personnel involved in cross-border smuggling would face court martial and be incarcerated. “Powerful elements involved in smuggling are also being stopped. As many as 1,068 FIRs have been lodged over Hawala Hundi and dollar smuggling, said Bugti, adding that another 242 cases have been registered in connection with narcotics control. He further apprised that he was present at a recently held meeting where the army chief directed his officers to take strict action against smuggling and warned that officers found involved in smuggling themselves would be subjected to both court martial and incarceration. "It would be wrong to say that members of security forces were not involved in smuggling," he added.

Steve Sarkisian remains confident in Texas PK Bert Auburn
Asked about whether he’s considering making a change at the position, Sarkisian was blunt and concise during his Monday press conference. “Our operation on field goals has got to get better — snap, hold, kick,” Sarkisian said. And in the conference opener against Texas Tech in a hostile environment in Lubbock, Auburn hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime. But Stone hasn’t even attempted an extra point in his short Longhorns career, much less a long field goal, and Sanborn has limited game reps at that position, too. It’s just getting him back into his comfort zone and then he started that today, he kicked the ball well today.”

earthquake in Pakistan
Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), a Netherlands-based organisation, made headlines for predicting a major earthquake in Pakistan within next 48 hours. In its recent prediction, the scientist reports massive surge of electric activity along Chaman fault lines, sparking anticipation of a powerful earthquake in next 48 hours. The belt witnessed major earthqwuakes and in May, 1935, a strong earthquake killed thousands of people. Amid frenzy among people, Pakistan Metrological (Met) Department has not responded to the predictions and speculations about the earthquake. Pakistan is indeed a country that is vulnerable to earthquakes due to its location in the seismically active region.
